Comanagers Fantasy Football Show

Were WRs Overrated in 2025? - A Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/15

Wide receiver was supposed to be the safest position in fantasy football… but 2025 told a different story. In this episode, the Comanagers break down the Top 12 Fantasy Wide Receivers of 2025, and the results are a mix of expected dominance, surprise breakouts, and a whole lot of weekly frustration. Puka Nacua proved nearly unstoppable, while Jaxon Smith-Njigba emerged as one of the most complete receivers in the league with elite route running. Amon-Ra St. Brown quietly kept doing what he always does — finishing as a top-3 WR for the third straight season. But the rest of the list tells a complicated story. Ja’Marr Chase’s season was inconsistent thanks to Joe Burrow’s injury. George Pickens benefited from opportunity when CeeDee Lamb went down. Chris Olave put together a healthy season and might have his best quarterback situation yet. Then there were the strange finishes. Zay Flowers ended the year as WR7 despite rarely feeling like a weekly difference maker. Davante Adams remained a touchdown machine. Nico Collins stayed elite even while stuck in a struggling offense. Jameson Williams exploded after Detroit changed play callers. Meanwhile, Courtland Sutton and Tee Higgins managed top-12 finishes that often didn’t feel as strong as the final numbers suggest. The biggest takeaway? The WR middle class is massive. From roughly WR6 through WR24, production was surprisingly flat. So the guys debate what this means for 2026 draft strategy — and whether loading up on running backs early might actually be the sharper move next season. Text a question or just say hi!

The Trade That Wasn’t - A Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/12

Free agency is here, and things got messy. In Episode 99, the Comanagers dive into the first wave of NFL free agency moves, breaking down the biggest signings, trades, and head-scratching decisions — plus one deal that apparently happened… and then didn’t. The Bills make a splash by trading for DJ Moore, creating ripple effects across both offenses. It’s great news for Josh Allen and the Bears’ remaining weapons, but not so great for Khalil Shakir. Somehow, Buffalo now has the second-highest WR cap hit in the league for 2026. Meanwhile in Miami, the Dolphins officially release Tua Tagovailoa, eating nearly $100 million in dead cap before signing Malik Willis. We like the upside swing, but with this roster? The rebuild looks steep. Elsewhere around the league: * The Patriots sign Romeo Doubs, who could quietly become their WR1 and a sneaky late-round fantasy value. * Geno Smith returns to the Jets, completing one of the strangest full-circle career arcs in the league. * The Steelers add Rico Dowdle and trade for Michael Pittman as they reshape their offense (with Aaron Rodgers probably waiting for maximum drama before announcing his return). * Houston lands David Montgomery, though a shaky offensive line may limit his fantasy ceiling. * The Colts double down on Daniel Jones and give Alec Pierce a massive contract. And then there’s the Ravens trade for Maxx Crosby… that they backed out of. Was it a misunderstanding? A change of heart? Or something a little shadier? We break down the fantasy fallout, roster strategy, and the weirdest moments from the opening days of free agency. And yes—we ran out of time before we could cover every team. The chaos continues next update. Text a question or just say hi! [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2519985/fan_mail/new] Support the show [https://www.buymeacoffee.com/comanagerjohn]

The Mullet That Stole the Combine - A Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/4

The Combine gave us speed, drama, and one legendary mullet. In Episode 98, John kicks things off with a full NFL Combine recap, breaking down the biggest standouts and what actually matters for fantasy and draft season. Kenyon Sadiq turned heads with elite speed at a lighter frame. Jeremiyah Love looked explosive. Arkansas QB Taylen Green ran a jaw-dropping 4.36 at 6’6. Mike Washington Jr. may have run himself into a completely different draft tier. And no, we are not panicking about Carnell Tate’s “slow” 4.53. We also talk about the growing trend of prospects skipping drills they don’t expect to ace—and what that says about modern draft strategy. Plus, the curious case of Makai Lemon reportedly bombing team interviews. Then it’s time for “This Just In with Justin”, where we get: * A poetic tribute to Gennings Dunker’s magnificent mullet * Javonte Williams signing a 3-year, $24M extension — is it a smart move for Dallas? * The Cowboys franchise tagging George Pickens — what does this mean for Dak and CeeDee? We also break down a major trade:  David Montgomery to Houston. How does this impact: * Montgomery’s fantasy value? * Jahmyr Gibbs’ workload? * Woody Marks? And finally, the Chiefs clear $20M in cap space by releasing OT Jawaan Taylor — what does that signal for Kansas City’s offseason plans? Speed kills. Cap space talks. And backfields are shifting.

James Cook Made Us Look Dumb - A Fantasy Football Podcast for 3/2

Running backs swung leagues in 2025 — and if you hit on the right ones, you were probably holding a trophy. In Episode 97, the Comanagers break down the Top 12 Fantasy RBs of 2025, and the list tells a story of workload gambles, narrative traps, and a few veterans who simply refuse to age. Christian McCaffrey silenced durability concerns and handled a massive workload en route to RB1 overall — but should managers be nervous about what that usage means for 2026? Jonathan Taylor delivered a tale of two seasons, Bijan Robinson piled up elite receiving numbers, and Jahmyr Gibbs continued to be the league’s premier home-run hitter. Devon Achane was electric despite Miami’s instability, while James Cook made Justin regret fading him after a noisy offseason contract saga. Derrick Henry remains immune to time. Chase Brown rewarded patience. Travis Etienne and Javonte Williams surprised. Josh Jacobs was solid but slightly underwhelming. And Kyren Williams leaves us wondering about next year’s draft price. The biggest themes: * Workhorse backs still matter. * Preseason narratives can be wildly wrong. * Situation volatility doesn’t always kill production. * Draft discipline wins leagues. If Episode 96 was about waiting on quarterback… Episode 97 might be about getting running back exactly right. Text a question or just say hi!
